Policy Description

Advantages

Disadvantages

Full to Full

The tank will be full when you pick up your car. Use as much fuel as you want and top it off when you return your car at the end of your rental period. As long as you replace the fuel before returning the car, you won't face any extra fees

You only need to replace the fuel you used. If you only use half of a tank, it's only necessary refill half of a tank, and therefore avoid paying for any you don't need. You can fill up at any station you want and you'll only pay service charges if you don't refill the tank

Full to empty (pre-paid)

You pay for a full tank upfront and bring the car back with the tank empty. Check with the rental car provider to see if they'll refund you for any unused fuel

There will be no need to go searching for a gas station before you return your car

You might pay a higher rate for the tank than you would filling up at a local gas station

Empty to empty

You won't have a full tank when you pick up the vehicle, and you don't have to fill the tank back up before you bring the car back

You refill your tank yourself, so you won't pay more than local pump prices

You'll need to locate a gas station shortly after you collect the car

What type of fuel policy should I choose?

We advise a full tank policy. You should get your automobile with a full tank, and you will want to return it filled up. If you want to keep your expenses lower, fill up your tank before bringing the car rental.

Should I get unlimited miles when I rent a car in Whitethorn?

Unlimited miles is a great option if you plan to do a little sightseeing or visit a lot of clients all over Whitethorn. You can cruise wherever you want without incurring additional charges. Review your policy to see if there are mileage restrictions.

Before you leave the lot

Before you begin on your Whitethorn trip, make sure you check out a few things before you leave the car rental lot. You should:

Check out the vehicle and make sure there is no damage or scratches. Be sure to make note of it on the paperwork, or you may get charged for it

Inspect the trunk to see if the spare is properly inflated and the necessary tools to change it are there

Get familiar with the controls of your car. Adjust the mirrors and seats to your liking, and figure out how to turn on the lights and wipers
